• About Me

    Horizon Behavioral Medicine Henderson, NV is a psychiatric clinic in Henderson, Nevada. Their mission is to give the finest evidence-based treatment available to patients. They are kind and regard their patients as people with distinct needs and difficulties.

     

    Horizon Behavioral Medicine was formed in March 2020 by Dr. Vincent Ho D.O., and Ari Ho, BSN-RN. Dr. Ho saw that many patients were reluctant, if not ashamed, to seek mental health therapy. They wanted to establish a corporation in which mental health treatment was promoted and mainstream. The employees consider themselves to be more than simply mental health specialists. They see themselves as a family of kind, like-minded people with the same objective of assisting others in living their best lives.

     

    They do this by providing a relaxing treatment setting, pleasant and sympathetic personnel, and evidence-based therapies. Long-established therapies such as psychotherapy and medication management, as well as cutting-edge treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, are among them.

     

    Dr. Ho is a board-certified neurologist. He addresses a broad spectrum of mental health disorders with the help of his competent personnel. Stress is one of the most prevalent problems he sees in his patients. This might be due to big life upheavals or burnout in our fast-paced environment. Horizon Behavioral Medicine regards stress as a major condition individuals should not seek to manage independently.


    This encompasses typical anxiety illnesses and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The center also treats depression, with a focus on treatment-resistant depression. When someone has treatment-resistant depression, normal therapies do not appreciably improve their condition. Antidepressant medication and psychotherapy may provide little to no improvement.

     

    Patients with bipolar illness and other mood disorders are welcome. They treat ADHD and ADD in individuals aged 12 and above, as well as sleeplessness. Behavioral problems such as binge eating disorder and OCD may be treated at the clinic. Patients may also seek psychosis and drug dependence therapy.


    They are particularly concerned with the mental health of women. Women are more prone to have anxiety and treatment-resistant depression. The clinic also treats postpartum depression in addition to these diseases. Horizon Behavioral Medicine provides various therapy options to fulfill the requirements of its patients. However, they've discovered that a multi-pronged strategy that addresses the whole individual is the most successful.

     

    Many people benefit from medication management. For example, it may assist individuals in getting through a crisis or managing long-term mental health problems. Medication is often used in conjunction with treatment to assist people in returning to their normal lives as soon as feasible.

     

    Supportive psychotherapy is often used in conjunction with medication management. This treatment style focuses on the patient's present difficulties and problematic emotional and relational patterns and how they might overcome issues that are interfering with their lives.

     

    Listening is the foundation of psychotherapy. Patients are given an outlet for their emotions without fear of being judged. Support is also essential. Therapists will calm and encourage patients while also listening empathically.

    This treatment has been shown to assist patients in acquiring self-awareness, decreasing anxiety, and developing coping skills to help them live happier lives. It may also enhance a patient's self-esteem and capacity to function in social circumstances.

     

    Esketamine is marketed under the brand name SPRAVATO. SPRAVATO treats treatment-resistant depression and depression associated with suicidal ideas or thoughts. SSPRAVATO is a nasal spray that is used in the office. Within 20 to 40 minutes, the medication reaches its highest concentration. Many individuals experience relief rapidly, with their symptoms considerably improving within a few days.

    Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, may also be used to treat treatment-resistant depression. It is a painless operation. In a reclining chair, the patient unwinds. Electromagnetic pulses are utilized to activate certain parts of the brain during this period. These sections are in charge of mood, cognition, and emotions.


    TMS therapy does need a time commitment. Therefore, patients should undergo therapy five days a week for six weeks. The average treatment time is 15-20 minutes. There are no negative side effects. Patients may drive immediately after the operation. Most patients find it simple to include these therapies in their everyday routines.
